IDF forces enter Gaza to carry out ’targeted raids’ on Hamas terrorists ahead of ground in

Israeli forces including tanks rolled into northern Gaza overnight in the biggest incursion of the war against Hamas so far to carry out ’targeted raids’ on ’terrorist cells’ ahead of a full-scale ground invasion. In an indication Israel was widening assaults into Gaza, the military said ground forces attacked multiple targets in the Hamas-ruled enclave on Thursday before withdrawing. The IDF said tanks and infantry struck numerous terrorist cells, infrastructure and anti-tank missile launch posts ’as part of preparations for the next stages of combat’ against Hamas. Israel’s battle-hardened Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (inset) last night warned Hamas terrorists in a televised statement that they were ’doomed’ as he vowed to push ahead with a ground invasion. Israeli tanks and troops are massed on the border with Gaza awaiting orders. Israel has called up 360,000 reservists. #dailymail #israel #palestine Original Article:
